gooneyI acually want us to miss the CL.....we need to change the just about mentality and if it takes us missing out on cl and suffer few more years, then I take it.
Spurs have done their suffering and worked their way up, you gotta admire them. Right now they are more ambitious and serious football club than us and Im not in denial like some arsenal fans to say this

billythekidWe are never going to catch spurs, the power balance has shifted and I completely agree with hippo. Spurs are now the more ambitious club they have a better balance of players than we do especially in midfield, a board who want to win things not just fall across the line and the willingness to bankroll their ambition and a manager who has the strength of character to stand up to his bigger players and hold them to their contracts.

Yes it is De Times. Because although you very well may been proven right about the way this season would go (could still change though) you have also spouted a lot of utter utter b*llocks. Gervinho as good as Messi anyone?

And stop consistently feminising people you have disagreed with when you refer to them. Its the sort of thing people did in the 1950s.

Just wait and see Celine, Gervinho will soon prove his worth. He had a very busy season last season, and was thrown quickly into a struggling arsenal team to carry all the playing burden, and has just got back from an extremely busy cup of nations tournament. He's human, not a machine.
When gervinho gets his vigour and swagger back, then you're appreciate how effective he could be in a game.
He did well lastnite btw.

Lol, 80s. Messi is something else especially with the number of goals he score. But gervinho, the way he brings two to three players to himself while creating openings for his team mates, while running directly at goal, he's almost as effective as messi without the goals when he's on top of his game.
I still remember that codevoir vs argentina match where gervinho looked far more threatening than Messi, that was the first time i saw him and penciled his name somewhere on the back of my mind.

gervinho is player im not sold on but ive said his fast pace dribbling is some of the best ive seen he looks like hes not trying and the ball is glued to his feet
deffo 1 of the players i would instruct kids to watch he looks so natural,

All I wish for is we are the best we can be ,if we are not Ill moan but still be shouting the team on.Im like a bea with a sore head when we lose or draw when we should win but to quote Morrisey there is a light that never goes out and that is Arsenal.
Ive gone all poetic there.
